[TerseRiddle]

I'm really liking these.

Second verse, same as the first.

Though, I was expecting a Sunday strip like this one.

...Never had a junk food hangover. Never had an ordinary hangover either, but that's because I don't drink, so it's beside the point. There have been plenty of times when I've overindulged in junk food. Maybe I've just not overindulged enough?

I thought it'd be like one of the ones where Squig's team lost.

This was so similar to the post-New Year's-Squig-hangover strip that I genuinely thought there was a problem with the site and it was redirecting to an old strip instead of today's x3

[Yinello]

Very similiar.

I once did have a day of too much junkfood. I was craving for some carrot sticks so bad, as if I were a blob of fat. But the only thing that hurt was my guilt.

I think people don't experience the junk food hangover unless they've already cleaned up their diet. (Or unless they indulge much more than usual)

I used to eat horribly. I grew up on it like everyone else, so I never had problems. But now that I cleaned up my diet, any time I have junk food, I end up miserable. It's the little things. I realize it's more like I normally just feel AWESOME now, and when I eat bad, all these little aches, gasses, feelings of being tired and sluggish, etc just suddenly show up.

On a dare, I once ate a ten-patty Whopper. I couldn't even look at any sort of fast food - real or advertised - for at least a day and a half afterwards.

When I make a roast chicken, I usually reach this point where I regret everything. Not a huge amount, but chicken by itself is apparently not a great meal for me.

stripey, i just gotta say - if you view roast chicken as junk food, you really haven't gotten out enough.

I don't exactly, but I mainly am vegetarian now, so I eat actual meat in the sparing way I eat junk food.

Not to say I eat only health food. I love, potato chips, rtc. I used to drink half and half, eat butter sandwiches, and pile cream cheese on top of charcoal-black burnt toast (So delicious, despite how it sounds.)

And one time I tried making bird suet with leftover hamburger grease, flour, crisco, peanut butter, and seeds. I was severely tempted to eat it myself, but thankfully did not.

This has been an episode of "Don't raid Stripey's Lunchbox."

you can make bird suet out of leftover grease? the stuff i've just been throwing away?

....of course, i really can't make bird suet because of the cats - establishing a bird feeder would pretty much be setting up a hunting station for the cats.

....either that, or a "watch the cats go insane trying to claw their way through the window" station. either way, it won't be pretty.

According to some people you can. Mine just turned into yellow jacket food, so I'd recomment doing some research. (Although our birdfeeder at the time had glass walls, so we could see the nest they were building in there. It was kind of fascinating.)

The biggest problem I had with it was that the suet melted. If you have cold temps in the winter, it would probably work then. I put this stuff out in early fall. Bad idea.
